kfifo: fix kfifo_to_user() return type

The kfifo_to_user() macro is supposed to return zero for success or
negative error codes.  Unfortunately, there is a signedness bug so it
returns unsigned int.  This only affects callers which try to save the
result in ssize_t and as far as I can see the only place which does that
is line6_hwdep_read().

TL;DR: s/_uint/_int/.
